THE LIBRARIANS

THE LIBRARIANS

Directed by Kim A. Snyder | 90 min | USA 

MOTHER’S DAY “CENTREPIECE” SCREENING!

Executive Producer Sarah Jessica Parker and filmmaker Kim A. Snyder (Newtown, Us Kids, 2025 Oscar®-Nominated Death By Numbers) take us to the unexpected front line where librarians emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy, free access to information, and First Amendment Rights. 

In Texas, the "Krause List" targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories, triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws that criminalize their work, the librarians' rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.

This film may take place in Texas, but the chilling trend of book banning is spreading far and wide. One of the most talked-about films at Sundance this year, this is a timely - and extremely inspirational story of the heroes who are fighting for our rights to READ!
